Could they kindly target some..

...at franchises like Greater Anglia that charge but can't be arsed to make it work properly?

Or are Abellio not actually arsed about renewing the franchise at all?

Re: Perspective

Maybe that's how they're doing the sorting. If your device has never visited a Tim Horton's, you're not Canadian and therefore a viable target.

The Secret World

If you fancy taking on an MMO with the kind of learning curve that resembles a brick wall, covered in ice and spikes, and with large snarling Cthuloid types at the bottom... try The Secret World.

Voice acting's superb (and frequently laugh-out-loud funny), the puzzles are tricky to solve, and the atmospherics are... not suitable for those of a nervous disposition. Messy death is a regular occurrence, but carries no penalty (other than gear repair, a trip to the nearest spawn point and possibly deafening your partner with SCREAMS OF FRUSTRATION.)
